Hello list,
I am collecting some toolkits in my usb-stick powered with grub2. I
installed grub2 in this stick from my debian squeeze box. During grub
configuration some question has developed in my mind and I might be
permitted to ask those in this list.

This patch reimplements 10_freebsd.in using 10_linux.in as a base, with
the kFreeBSD-specific parts of 10_freebsd.in.
The new version brings in support for multiple kernel versions (the reason
for the rewrite) and also handling of acpi.ko.
It is diffed against 10_linux.in, since the old code str

Hi,
I thought of a possible solution to the grub-pe2elf problem. It seems that
it is burdensome to produce ELF binaries on Windows, but building PE binaries
or even PE/win32 executables on GNU/Linux is not (thanks to Mingw32 toolchain
which is available on most distributions).

Hi,
Update:
Support 64-bit mach-o object files, now you can build i386-pc,
i386-efi and x86_64-efi in OSX.
Use PIC in x86_64-efi. Relocation R_X86_64_32S would cause problem in
machine with 2G or more memory, the only way to get rid of it is to
use large memory model, or use PIC. Large model is

I've just reviewed the WIP manual in docs/grub.texi, and removed a lot of

Some comments about live iso booting and grub2 loopback -
After grub boots the live iso kernel and initrd, they need to loop mount
the iso again to access the live files. Otherwise the initrd would need
rebuild, or some way found to pass the loop mount from grub.

Installing binutils can break the existing toolchain. Installing
objconv should not.

When comparing vmlinuz-2.6.31-rc4-wl and vmlinuz-2.6.31-rc5-wl,
version_test_gt() ends up comparing "wl" and "wl".
Using the "g" modifier leads to the replacement being app
